2026 is the year of the big reset. The regulatory map has been redrawn across most of the world, and the financial and crypto environment with it. AI has already rewired how we conceive, build, and ship products, in ways most people are still catching up to. My conviction is that Supernova resets what blockchains mean, and what they can do, for institutions, for businesses, and most of all for the AI agents that are about to become the largest, most demanding users of digital infrastructure the world has ever seen. Now, the time has come for Sergiu to move on, but he will always remain part of the xPortal / MultiversX swat team. Over almost four years, alongside the xPortal team, he made the product sexier, more useful, and more connected, bringing together ecosystems in a way that has elevated the experience, flow and defining moments for millions of users, on MultiversX and 15 other chains and communities. One thing in particular I’ll look fondly on is the repeated drive to Cluj close to midnight, with the two of us sitting and talking long into the night about the next moves, the important and crazy ones, that would make xPortal more useful and more loved by its users. A heartfelt thank you to Sergiu, for building, pushing, and refusing to settle for the easy version of life. Go get the June 14th Ironman! Cheering loud from this side. Shifting to what's next. xPortal enters a new phase. We've been quietly preparing for this for some time. The team is well in place and in great hands, with a new internal lead stepping up in the role, taking the hard, focused steps the next phase demands. The first milestone of this new phase will be revealed in tandem with the SUPERNOVA GENESIS EVENT. A moment to upend xPortal's experience, offering, and utility. Engines are fired up. Full steam ahead.

200+ Improvements And Fixes. The Security Marathon Continues We've completed a deep review of every internal and external audit submission received for SUPERNOVA, and finalized implementation of all critical fixes and improvements identified, applying them first and foremost to the production mainnet. A new mainnet security advisory will follow next week. Beyond this release, focus shifts to hardening SUPERNOVA and bringing it above parity with the critical improvements and fixes already battle-tested in production on mainnet. I’ll state this once again for posterity: expect exploits of every kind to continue hitting networks and open-source projects across the space, until the hardening of foundational protocols is taken as the life-or-death matter it is. Every hour invested in security today compounds, saving real money and invaluable time that would otherwise be lost to bad actors hunting for low-hanging fruit. P.S. At the end of this week I'm stepping away from X for 2 - 4 weeks. When I'm back, I'll share the SUPERNOVA RELEASE TIMELINE.

Hardening security across every live module. We are in the early weaponization phase of frontier AI. The team is reanalyzing the security assumptions behind every module we run in production. Surface by surface, layer by layer. As we have discovered in the past, MultiversX, myself, and perhaps several other team members have been targets of a highly-sophistication attack campaign, by Lazarus and other groups among them. Every attempt has been detected, contained, defended. What is unmistakable to me, is that the raw intelligence now available to attackers has materially elevated the sophistication, speed, and creativity of these groups. The vital work done by the team has surfaced a class of issues that did not exist as viable threat vectors twelve months ago. Each one identified, patched, and folded back into a continuous hardening pipeline. Security is and continues to be the highest priority over the coming weeks. And the shift here is structural: raw AI offensive capability is being normalized into the baseline threat model of every open source project on earth. Until that single fact is internalized by open source and blockchain teams, new attacks and vulnerabilities will be exploited every single day. Responsible teams should swiftly reorder their priorities around this reality. Now. Alongside the vital work done by our engineering team, we very much appreciate the continuous surgical effort put in by the resourceful network of builders, validators, and community members, surfacing issues, proposing improvements, and sharpening the system as we prepare for what comes next. All focus is on this 360° security review until the hardening phase concludes. Then, the next chapter. SUPERNOVA.

MULTIVERSX DEAD, THE NETWORK IS USELESS, PROGRESS IS HAPPENING TOOOOO SLOW, MARKETING, WHAT IS MARKETING? Fair. Here's the fuller story. Presenting the MULTIVERSX STATE OF THE FOUNDATION REPORT, 2ND Edition. A few key highlights. (a) 5 protocol upgrades. 6 governance proposals passed. Footprint down 60%. (b) A full account for $EGLD holders, what was funded, what was built, what was ratified. (c) A focused look at 2026, SUPERNOVA, and what comes next. The picture is simple: the network has been rebuilt from the ground up. Set for a radical reset with the launch of SUPERNOVA. Ahead of this new GENESIS moment, we are documenting the work, clearing the record, and showing what was built. There's one thing this team has been consistently known for, backed by the data: TECHNOLOGY SUPERIORITY, ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE, PRODUCTIVITY OUTPUT, that benchmarks at the top of the industry. Delivered with a team a fraction the size of our peers. Some other things, I’ll say plainly, are far from optimal: chain focus, business pipeline, revenue traction. SUPERNOVA is where we sharpen the first to a razor’s edge, and reforge the second. The report is the receipt for the last two years, and the HIGH PERFORMANCE NETWORK WE HAVE LIVE TODAY. Onward. To SUPERNOVA. ------ Read in full, here: files.multiversx.com/MultiversX-Sta…

100+ security issues. Identified. Neutralized. AI in its current form is a nuclear force. Channeled right, it delivers pure, unadulterated, unmatched, productivity gains. Channeled wrong, it ships weapons, with attack vectors the world has never had to defend against. The next chapter will be defined by this duality: breathtaking productivity unlocks, colliding with deep, surgical, systemic attacks unlike anything we've seen. For any blockchain team, any open-source team, security is THE PRIORITY. The MultiversX team has been operating around the clock. Nights. Weekends. Relentless. Methodically filtering, triaging, and eliminating, in record time, a long list of material issues and protocol-level improvements. Every fix is another layer of hardening ahead of Supernova. To put things in perspective: in the last few months, we've surfaced and closed more issues than in the previous 3 - 4 years combined. This is the preparation phase. And the fact that AI has crossed a new capability threshold cannot be overstated. Supernova is not an upgrade. It is a complete rewrite of what a blockchain can be, instant performance, radical scalability, human UX that actually feels seamless, and just works. It also opens a new verifiable agentic highway. Real. Live. Working today. Continuously adaptive security will define the AI era—and almost no one is treating it that way. Static firewalls defended the old internet. Continuously adaptive security is what defines survival in the AI era. Our engineering team, along with a resourceful network of builders, validators, and community members, is doing the surgical, disciplined, vital work that shapes what comes next. This is MultiversX. This is SUPERNOVA.

Agents Are Eating the World A few structural shifts redefining value creation, market topology, and the architecture of the firm. The Death of the Session The fundamental unit of software is shifting from the “session”, a human sitting in front of an interface, clicking through menus, to the “task.” Agents don’t browse. They execute. This collapses the entire UX layer that defined the last three decades of software into a thin orchestration membrane. The companies that built moats around user habit and design familiarity are discovering those moats were made of sand. When an agent books your flight, it doesn’t care about your airline’s homepage redesign. It cares about the API. The implication is seismic: distribution advantages based on UI stickiness are evaporating. The new moat is data gravity and API surface area. CORE INSIGHT: Every company is now two companies: the one humans see, and the one agents negotiate with. Autonomous Commerce Loops We are witnessing the emergence of closed-loop autonomous commerce, agents procuring, negotiating, and settling transactions with other agents, with humans only setting boundary conditions. A procurement agent evaluates 4,000 suppliers in the time a human reads one proposal. A pricing agent adjusts in real-time across 200 variables no human could hold in working memory simultaneously. This is a new market topology. The speed and dimensionality of agent-mediated commerce will create market dynamics we’ve never modeled: flash negotiations, millisecond arbitrage on service contracts, and reputation graphs that update continuously. The companies that win will be the ones that build the settlement rails and trust infrastructure for this machine-to-machine economy. CORE INSIGHT: The next Visa is not a payments company. It’s an agent-to-agent trust and settlement protocol. The Principal-Agent Collapse Economics has long studied the principal-agent problem: how do you ensure someone acting on your behalf actually serves your interests? With AI agents, this problem transforms from a social contract into an engineering specification. Agent alignment isn’t about trust, it’s about architecture. Guardrails, evaluation loops, and value functions replace traditional contracts, incentives, and performance reviews. This is simultaneously the greatest risk and the greatest opportunity. The companies that solve agent alignment at the infrastructure level, building auditable, interpretable, controllable agent systems, will own the trust layer of the entire agentic economy. Every agent interaction requires a trust decision. Whoever arbitrates that decision captures the toll on every transaction. CORE INSIGHT: The most valuable company of the agentic era won’t build agents. It will build a system that makes agents trustworthy. In the end, the solution arrives, and it's striking is how much it simply converges on Supernova. Sub-second interaction anywhere on earth. True agent scalability. Programmable, verifiable actions. Payment and orchestration rails embedded at the foundation. This is SUPERNOVA.

FRESH OFF THE PRESS: EGLD POSITIONED FOR US INSTITUTIONAL ADOPTION 🇺🇸 Arizona Senate Bill 1649 establishes the first Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund in the United States, with EGLD named directly in the bill text. The bill introduces an evaluation framework written into law, measuring network strength, development improvements, performance benchmarks. Fourteen assets made the cut. EGLD one of them. This matters far beyond a single state. SB1649 sets a legal precedent for how governments can evaluate and hold digital assets following a deep review of fundamental measurable criteria. The fact that Arizona’s legislature looked at the data and included MultiversX technology alongside Bitcoin and other assets speaks volumes to what the team has been building for years: real infrastructure, real usage, real resilience. If this passes the full House vote, Arizona becomes the first US state to hold a diversified crypto reserve, and EGLD is eligible from day one. Institutional frameworks are being built around networks and assets enabling a robust and resilient foundation to build on for the future. A great example of long efforts from people who care, builders and entrepreneurs from around the world, showing up, and finding new ways to bring contributions to the ecosystem. cc @DigitalGoldTalk Public source: azleg.gov/legtext/57leg/…

For the last years, we have been working toward a new breakthrough. A ground-up rearchitecting to set new records in speed, and UX (in addition to unprecedented throughput). Yesterday, with the same minimal technical specs, we have processed 1 Billion transactions, achieving a peak of 120k transactions/second in a LIVE community battlenet, with only 3 shards + metachain. This is SUPERNOVA 🔥 The game has changed.

SUPERNOVA. IS. COMING. A new beginning. A new frontier. A state-of-the-art, ground-up reinvented, technological foundation. Built through maximum pain and fire. Earned through sweat, and blood, and tears, every ounce of its resilience, strength, and performance. Unmatched in speed, throughput, UX, and decentralization. And still, the markets are deeply asleep. As we prepare to cross into uncharted territory, there is only one question left. *Are you ready?* To show up. To own it. To fight. To ride or die, into a new chapter. The actions and energy you bring to this moment decide everything that follows. SUPERNOVA.

A Bet We Made in 2018 This is me and Vitalik in 2018. ETH Devcon. We were at a table talking about sharding and how blockchains could actually scale by running execution in parallel. At the time, Ethereum and Elrond had the same thesis. Both believed execution sharding was the path forward. Since then, Ethereum changed direction multiple times. Sharding gave way to rollups. Rollups gave way to "we need to scale L1 again." The roadmap shifted, the promises changed, the technical approach pivoted more than once. And through all of it - the Ethereum community stayed. They gave the team the space to find the right path. They didn't kill the project when the roadmap changed. They believed the builders would figure it out. That patience is what kept Ethereum alive. Not the technology. The community. ─── We made a different bet. We bet on execution sharding from day one and we never left that path. Adaptive state sharding shipped on mainnet in 2020. Three execution shards plus a metachain. State, network, transactions - all sharded from genesis. Supernova shipped this year. Consensus decoupled from execution. 600ms blocks. achieved 88ms finality. 120,000 TPS burst mode on the same validator hardware. 3,200+ validators on consumer-grade machines. 171,000 commits. #6 in the entire industry. Ahead of Solana, Avalanche, Sui, Polygon, Aptos, and TON. Tier-one infrastructure providers on board, distribution partners like Cointelegraph are running validator nodes. Stripe's Machine Payments Protocol is settling on MultiversX. EGLD is named in an Arizona state strategic reserve bill. The agentic commerce stack - x402, MPP, MX-8004, UCP, ACP, MCP - is live on one chain. xMoney is building regulated stablecoin issuance under MiCA. The infrastructure underneath has never been stronger. ─── And yet the market prices EGLD like none of this exists. Every blockchain community is going through the same thing right now. EGLD is down. ETH is down. SOL is down. The market doesn't differentiate between chains that shipped paradigm-shifting infrastructure and chains that shipped a landing page. But here's what's different about right now. Bitcoin survived 2014. Ethereum survived 2018. Solana survived 2022. In each case, the community stayed long enough for the technology to matter. In each case, the community that held wrote the next chapter. And in each case, the ones who fractured, who turned on their own builders, who let the loudest voices - the ones who already sold - define the narrative? Those communities don't exist anymore. You don't remember their names. The perception of value has been distorted. By cycles. By speculation. By narratives that reward noise over engineering. And by us - divided when we should be united. Turning on each other instead of building forward together. Look at what's underneath. Not the chart. The infrastructure. 88ms finality. 120K TPS. #6 in developer activity globally. Tier-one infrastructure partners. Stripe settling on-chain. EGLD in US state legislation. Regulated stablecoins under MiCA. An agentic commerce stack that Visa, Coinbase, and Mastercard are racing to replicate. This is not a project searching for relevance. This is a project that shipped the relevance and is waiting for its community to match it. If this fails, it won't be because the technology wasn't good enough. It will be because we weren't united enough to carry it forward. I've been here since 2018. That table with Vitalik. Every pivot, every cycle, every doubt. Still here. Still building. Now it's your turn. Not to believe. To show up.

Who's Actually Building? 171,000 commits. #6 in the entire blockchain industry. Ahead of Bitcoin. Ahead of Solana. Ahead of Avalanche, NEAR, Sui, Polygon, Aptos, and TON. Almost 2x Solana. Nearly 3.5x Aptos. The data is public. I'm not writing this to flex. I'm writing it because the people doing the real work deserve to see it reflected somewhere other than a Git log. ─── Building through a market like this is brutal. The price bleeds. Liquidity gets extracted by professionals who've never deployed a contract. Narratives rotate every two weeks. The projects that survive aren't the loudest, they're the ones that refuse to stop shipping. We shipped Supernova while the market did everything it could to make us irrelevant. 150,000 lines of new protocol code. 20 months. A complete rearchitecture of how consensus and execution interact. 88ms block finality on 600ms slots. The block finalizes before the round ends. 120,000 TPS burst mode on the same validator hardware. 3,200+ nodes. Full sharding intact. We didn't build this because the market asked for it. We built it because it was the right thing to build. ─── The market rewards narratives. It rewards projects that rename themselves to match whatever's trending. It doesn't reward the team that designed inclusion proofs so blocks finalize before execution completes. It doesn't reward 171,000 commits. It barely notices. But here's the thing, infrastructure doesn't need the market's permission to work. Over 500 million transactions processed. 3,200+ validator nodes across four continents. And now, sub-second finality on every transaction type. ─── People ask: "What's left for blockchain when AI takes over everything?" Wrong question. AI agents need to transact autonomously. They need identity. They need programmable money that settles in milliseconds. They need micropayments at scale without a human clicking "approve." Credit cards can't do this. Bank wires can't do this. These rails were built for humans, not machines. This is where the entire stack is converging. Look at what happened in the last 90 days: Visa launched agentic payment tools. Mastercard acquired BVNK for $1.8B. Coinbase is pushing x402 hard. Circle is racing for stablecoin dominance. Stripe built ACP with OpenAI. They're all building pieces of the same stack: identity, payments, settlement, stablecoins. We built the whole thing. On one chain. x402 for autonomous agent payments. MX-8004 for on-chain agent identity. UCP, ACP, AP2, MCP for agent communication and commerce. xMoney for regulated stablecoin issuance and fiat-to-crypto connectivity under MiCA. Relayed v3 for gasless transactions so agents don't need to hold tokens to start. Six protocols. Regulated stablecoins. Fiat rails. One network. The stack that Visa, Stripe, and Coinbase are assembling from separate pieces, we shipped as a unified layer. ─── And the community. Every validator who kept running through the drawdown. Every builder who deployed when nobody was watching. Every staker who stayed. 171,000 commits. Supernova. Battle of Nodes. Cointelegraph joining as a validator. EGLD named in an Arizona state strategic reserve bill. The signals are there. The infrastructure is live. The convergence between AI, payments, and blockchain isn't five years away. It's happening now. The teams that built through the hard part don't need to pivot when the opportunity arrives. They're already there. We're already there.

Supernova is the sonic boom of blockchain interaction. But in what way, precisely? Well, a sonic boom happens when an object outruns its own sound. There's no warning or no build-up. The thing just arrives before the sound it makes can catch up. With Supernova, the transaction lands before the user even registers they're waiting. The experience outruns the expectation. And creates a perception boom. Every architectural bet we made over the past five years points here. Right at this moment. The phase of instantaneous interaction has arrived.
